Linda or Tiny as we called her, was a long time family friend. She was a bright, joyful woman with an amazing personality. She was loved by all and I was quite sad to hear of her passing. The Spurrell family has you in our prayers. Love you Tiny.

Glen I am so shocked and saddened to hear of Linda’s passing. I recently heard that she was sick but never thought it was to this degree. She was a wonderful woman with a spring in her step and a smile on her face. Hold your memories tight and they will get you through the roughest times. Much love to you.

Glenn and Linda’s family, I am so sorry to hear about Linda. I met her at “Trades School” and we clicked. We had a lot of laughs for sure. Then our paths crossed again as she worked with my brother, Carl Scott, at Woolco. Hold on to happy memories and I am sure you have plenty. God bless.

Glenn, Geoff, Gerry, Patsy and families – we were shocked and saddened to hear of Linda’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Sorry we are unable to be there to express our condolences personally. I fondly remember Linda as a little girl who sprung around the house on her tippy toes and always looking to get into some sort of mischief. She never lost that spring in her step. Rest In Peace Linda.
Sorry we are unable to be there to express our condolences personally.

To Glenn and the Ford Family our hearts are deeply sadden to here of Tiny’s passing. It was only two weeks ago she was at our cabin inspecting the moose and laughing at all the mess Darryl was in trying to clean it. We will miss seeing her walking around Mahers, a place she loved so much. We will think of her often, especially when we are blueberry picking and gardening. Forever in our heart and prayers.
